With the UAAP Season 86 men’s basketball Finals boiling down to a winner-take-all Game 3, a mad scramble for tickets to watch La Salle and University of the Philippines battle it out in the deciding game for the championship has begun.
Game 3 is scheduled for December 6, Wednesday, 6 p.m. at Smart Araneta Coliseum as a fitting ending to the historic match-up that pitted these two schools for the first time in the title round.
The UP Fighting Maroons, who won Game 1 in a blowout, are looking to reclaim their throne after last year’s failed defense against Ateneo while the La Salle Green Archers, who bounced back convincingly in Game 2, try to regain their place atop men’s basketball after last winning the crown in 2016.
